Like I said it could be that I live in such a horrible school district (thank goodness I'm homeschooled now). The teachers I had when I went to school were absolutely horrible... I mean you would ask a question and most of the time they had to go look in the book (math especially) and I'm not taking advanced stuff.... I'm talking 3rd or 4th grade. And I guess it's not so much that I disagree with teachers getting more pay... it's more about the fact that I think there are other occupations that need more compensation first....
